WHY ENGAGE WITH THE ARTS

Adapted from “Learning Through the Arts” by Dee Dickinson

• The arts provide opportunities for expression—bringing the innerworkings of ourselves out into the world around us.

• The arts give us a language that all people can speak, connectingus culturally and socially by breaking down the barriers ofeconomics and education.

• The arts allow us to learn about and appreciate other cultures.

• The arts provide the means for everyone to learn, improvingacademic achievement through test scores, and enhancing socialskills as well as critical and creative thinking.

• The arts make it possible to use personal strengths in meaningfulways, allowing bridges to understanding difficult abstractions.

Learning to trust and develop friendships while engaged in creativity brings the connection down to one-on-one and allows the larger community to gather and experience the arts together.

Welcome to College Theater at the MACFrom the inception of planning College Theater productions, each season is built with the idea that both escapism and engagement theater are important for students to experience and our audiences to enjoy. Escapism theater allows us to escape from our daily turmoil and daily life, offering pure entertainment. Engagement theater focuses on the human condition and the burning quest for a solution—it is theater we do not easily forget and that changes us in some way, forever.

The mission of both escapism and engagement theater is to expose everyone to the great theater of the past as well as important theater of today. We’ve chosen an eclectic season including both escapism and engagement theater, culled after considering countless titles and varied genres. Above all, we’re most interested in training our students as artists, both on the stage and behind the curtain, engaging with students and community in our audience, as well. That is the power of live theater, which does not exist except in this live, ephemeral moment—it is an art that celebrates interaction—on stage, but also between stage and audience.

The 2019–2020 College Theater season is a perfect example of this exciting mix: The Wolves, Macbeth, Scenes from an Execution and Clue: On Stage.

“I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”

—Thornton Wilder, Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright and novelist

Thank you so much for supporting the voices of our talented students and power of live theater. We hope you join us again and again.

**2020 John Belushi Stage Management Scholarship

The decision to produce Scenes from an Execution by Howard Barker for the College season was in part inspired by the The Cleve Carney Museum of Art and the McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage hosting of one of the largest private collections of original artwork by Frida Kahlo in 2020. We wished to explore and encourage our students to investigate the nature of art and artist. Set in the 16th century, the character of Galactia is commissioned to paint a canvas, the size of two modern day school buses, representing the triumph of the Holy League over the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Lepanto. Instead of commemorating the event, the artist responds with a work which denounces the carnage of war. Her self-destructive obsession with realism and her own idea of the truth threatens her personal relationships, her safety, and her autonomy. The work deals with large ideas about the role of the artist in regard to the patron, in this case, the state; about the shock of new art; about the competitive nature of artists, gender — politics, and talent; about lust and love; about violence; about ambition; about power; and above all else, about communicating a creative and personal point of view which challenges the viewer. We stage the piece in an intimate setting, using our actors as “models” for the painted images that eventually become the painting. We hope your imagination of the painting is fueled by the author’s description and is far more graphic than what we might portray. As with all productions, we hope our portrayal of Mr. Barker’s work illicit a conversation about the contemporary themes which influence all of our lives today.
